. lh whom it may ci'mccrri it known that .li, l lunnsrr .l. iilt'nirunl, fir-n oi? i1he United States, lfihiltllltg at. Elpokonc. in the couniy of .t-lpokane and State of li ashingg ton, have invented now and nael'ul ln'nirovcnientc in Attimhnicn" for Babyrr'aizcs and tlod larts, oi which. the fob low i uni a specitieai ion.

lily invention relates to an improwincnt in baby :arriugres or go'carte, and has as its principal object the provision of means; 'ri'lerehy, a baby carriage may be pic-died forwardly up a curb without needing to be til ted :ckwa rd.

A turthcr object of my invention tor-sides in the particular arrangement. andcmnhina parts hereinafter ilescril mjl. c accompanying dan'ings, Figure l. active view a baby carriage cuiltiitidyinpg inv hivention. Fig. 2 in av aide elc Nation of the carriage shown in Fig. 1. Fig.

3 is a par ial View of the carriage shown in Fig. as it 1.; about to ascend a, curb, but...

nrhwn to 'geiscale. Fig. i is a. view similar to Fig. 3 but showing; near ihc top oi. the curb. Fig; 5 is a View similar to Fig. 3 but showing thicarriage arranged for traveling; on level ground. Fig. (5 is a trout. elevation of the machine shown in Fig. 5. Fig. 7 in a detail View on a liar r scale of a portion of the mcchanism for li. tingi the carriage up a curl).

in the separatc views the same part is (lei-in tiated by the same reference character. :ia:.f\:l'l"lll, more particularly to thc draw inc, l is: a bah}: carriagc which may he of any approved design and which is provided such as 2---2. .i' ittachcd to each titanic piece is a bracket such its 3 which is split as shown at i no that it may bc clamped to the frame piece in any suitable position and so that the brackctsi may be attached to prerioiuily manut'zurtured carriax' 'ca. Ac clearly shown in Fig. 25, tho hots ti'ii'iiitl downwardly somewhat; in front oi. tho forward whecln l. At. their lower our the buckets; 21 provide pivotal sup 'iortia pair of tractor framcs such as l'iacn tractor :trznnc is provided at. each wit .1 pair of lugsouch at; i it in rh frame- 5 and its corrropondingg or projections l). A oint 10 each frame is pivoted to i which in pivoted in turn at the the carriagc ii are pivoted wheels ouch as i'---7.'

to trained a belt. 8 which carries cit-- point 12 to a second link 13 which is journalcd to the brackets at the point 14-. The links 1! and 13 town a. toggle which, when straightcncd, forcethe f'amc 5 forwardly into an upwardly inclined position as shown in Figs. 1, Cl, 4 and 7. lt will be seen. more over, that the link It cxtcnds forwardly of its pivot point 122 with the link 13, and is providcd with a notch or cut out portion '15 which is adapted to cngagc with a pin or projection 16 carried by the link l3 so that when tho links are placcd in alinemcnt as in Fig. 3 the joints between them can be broken only by pulling upwardly on the some. it now the links and frame are thrown into the position of Figs. 3 and T, the forward end of the hcltv 8 may be pushcd against- Lhc cdgre of thc curl) such as IT and ah the lower edge oi. the belt is pushed against: the curb, one. of the projcctions 9 will engage the edge oi the curb and prevent any tendency to upset, whereupon further pushing against thc handle of the carriage will muse the belt ti to travel around the wheels 7 thus elevating, the forward cud oi the carriagc to the position shown in Fig. -l-, wherein the whccls 4 are in a position to roll up onto the curb.

As. shown in Fig. (3, I prefer to connect the forward and upper ends ol the :trai'ues 5 by means of a cross bar such as 18, although I do not. consider this arrangcment: ccscntial'. lb will be understood furthermore that the whccln 7 may be provided with thingies if so deeired to prcvcut the belt H from slipping oil oi, thc wheels; when going up a curb.

it. will ho iuulcrstr'iod that throughout: the foregoing sg-wcilication and in the appended claiur' 1 have unod thc word bolt. in a gencric manner and intend thereby to cover, not only the ordinary plain hell; but also its mechanical equivalent. chains and. the like. It is of course obvious that it the bclt. 8 was substituted by sprocket chains, that the wheels 7 would be of the sprocket type. It will be understood 'l'urthcr that while I havc shown and described lhc prc'ferrcd form of my invention, that I do not wish to be limited thereto except for such limitations as the claims may import.

lllaving thus described my invention, what It claim is;

l. A baby carriage comprising in combination, a main frame, a tractor frame Secured to said 'rnain fame and pro'ecting' forrmrdly tli rctroin in an upwar ly in cllned direction, and a belt trained around said tractor frame.
